The Hokuriku Shinkansen launched

The Hokuriku Shinkansen has just been launched today. The first trains from both terminals of Tokyo station and Kanazawa station has departed.

It was a dearest wish for both Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures. They are looking forward to having many tourists coming. On the other hand, Nagano and Niigata prefectures are not necessarily welcome mode. For Nagano, the name “Nagano Shinkansen” was vanished as of today. For Niigata, some of the local railways will be transferred to the private sector train. The rapid train “Kagayaki” does not stop at a station in Niigata.
